WOMAC 2018: TOWOF President
reiterates the role of women in society.
By Joseph A Adudu,
November, 17, 2018.
The
vision coordinator and president of Total Woman Foundation (TOWOF) Mrs. Felicia
Kaneng Gyang has said that the success of every husband in his chosen career or
assignment on earth depends to a large extent of the support of his wife. This
according to her is in fulfilment of the biblical saying that it is not good
for a man to be alone. Mrs Gyang made this statement today during the Women
Arise Conference (WOMAC) 2018 in Jos. TOWOF president stated that the woman
occupies a special position in the society because she is a special creation by
God as loving and compassionate and has the tendency of bringing an end to
social ills in our society.
She
however said that many women are ignorant of their role in their society.
“Today, many women are asleep; they feel that they have come to this world just
to eat, drink; be somebody’s wife and produce children and that’s the end of
it. Unfortunately, what we see in our society today is war, evil and wicked
acts. We all are aware of cases of abductions, kidnapping, ritual killings, domestic
violence and many other vices. We want women to know that they have a role to play
to bring solution to these problems”. Mrs Gyang said that in the light of the
above, the Women Arise conference was conceived.
Consequently, Mrs. Gyang said the conference which is hosted by TOWOF is a wake-up call to the church of
Jesus Christ; it is a call to Christians in general but to women in particular
at finding lasting solution to problems and bring peace to the world stressing
that only God has a solution to the problems of this world and He has chosen
the church as His agent through which He moves to enhance peace, stability,
progress and development.

The
activity according to her, is with the realization that women have a key role
to play in finding a lasting solution to the problems confronting our world
today and a platform has therefore, been created through WOMAC for women to
receive sound teaching on topical issues to help the woman discover her place
in God, in the home, in the church and in the society.
TOWOF
is an inter-denominational Christian organisation that focuses on the holistic
development of the women. The vision is to teach, train, equip and empower
women to fulfill their God given mandate as daughters, wives, mothers, active
members, helpers of destiny and agents of change.
She said WOMAC
is one of the main TOWOF activities. Other activities include; Prison visitations,
hospital visitations, visitations to IDPs Camp and village outreach which sees
the foundation going round all the local government areas in Plateau state with
the gospel.
TOWOF
also runs a television programme known as “Total Woman” on NTA every Monday. In
this programme, issues that affect the economic and social life of a woman as
well as her spiritual growth are discussed. It is a holistic ministry because
it touches every aspect of the life of a woman.
